Cosmetic products have a shelf life.
Quality care requires sacrifice, often of material. So so sorry to part with your favorite powder or cream. But have to do it, because the shelf life of cosmetics is not “to the last drop”, and before a certain date.
Sorry girls that don’t like to part with makeup products and use your favorite glitter to the last drop, but the cosmetics too have a shelf life. We know that the Polish of this shade and concealer this formula is no longer produced, and we understand how difficult it is to find the right coral shade of lipstick, but there always comes the time of separation. Of course, you can store favorite make-up forever, but use them after a certain point is simply impossible. The shelf life of cosmetics listed on the packaging warns that a good Foundation will remain only until a certain date. Then the tool is better to throw. No matter, it’s organic, budget or professional cosmetics.
Beauty audit must be performed not once a year, and at least every 3 months. Check your makeup bag every season, because the time of storage of cosmetics expire like products.
The shelf life of cosmetics:
Eyeliner, eyebrows, lips (1 to 2 years)
No matter what the makeup meant a pencil (eyes, lips, eyebrows), the important thing is that it can erode. That is, you can remove the top, contaminated with bacteria, layer and continue to use the product. To extend the life of the pencil, don’t forget to wipe the tip with alcohol on it or spray with antibacterial spray after erode it. If the pencil is too dry and tightens the skin, it’s time to let him go.
Glosses and lipsticks for lips (1 year)
As the glosses and lipsticks are applied directly on the lips, it would be good to change them every year. Because the bacteria of the oral cavity may remain on the product, and it is unlikely you will want to use the cosmetics. By the way, the period of the validity of a lipstick can greatly reduce the high temperature so don’t leave any lip gloss in the car and often disinfect the applicator for applying the gloss.
Concealer and concealer (1 to 2 years)
Not the best environment for bacteria than liquid Foundation, especially if it’s Packed without a dispenser. Any change of shade, smell or consistency suggests that makeup should be thrown away. Otherwise, it is not surprising to permanent acne and pimples. Makeup designed to conceal skin imperfections, not to create new ones.
Powder, blush, eye shadow (2 years)
Face powder and body powder BB cream all shadows, correctors, bronzer, and blush hilitary powdery texture can be used for 2 years. But if your favorite shade is crashed, it is better to throw them away. All of these methods that allow you to “restore” the broken eye shadow/powder, involve the use of alcohol. The recovered product will be very overdry the skin, causing premature aging. If you do not want to part with the powder or bronzerat after they crashed, but the shelf life of cosmetics has not yet expired, you can pour into a jar from the old loose powder.
Mascara and eyeliner (from 3 to 6 months)
We use mascara more than the liner, so the shelf life of the it less. Usually it is about 3 months. This is assuming that you are score in the air and bacteria, constantly pulling the brush up and down to get more of the product.
Shelf life of perfume
With proper storage the same perfume will be available in 10-15 years. Now even sold a vintage perfume for over 50 years and sometimes their price exceeds the value of the car. In the composition of the perfume is usually alcohol is present, which keeps them alive. But it may erode if the bottle tightly closed. Keep perfume away from direct sunlight, in a place where the temperature range remains almost unchanged. For example, in the bedroom.
Nail Polish (from 6 months to 1 year)
To extend the shelf life of nail Polish, do not store it under direct sunlight. Find a place with normal room temperature, for example, locker cabinets.
To keep your make-up from bacteria and be able to use them before the expiry date of cosmetics, never, under any circumstances, share it with friends, sisters, mothers. This does not mean that you are “greedy”, you just want to protect my face and the faces of your loved ones from the “alien” microbes.
